The comfort rooms are grouped around a closed lush traditional Zanizibari square garden within the second building. They are situated directly behind the Art Hotel’s exquisite art gallery and massage salon. Each room has been individually decorated by a local artist. The rooms are 17 square meters and are all self contained with showers and toilets. Air conditioning, a fan, a safe box and a kettle for your tea are provided. In the garden you´ll find a cosy seating area with sockets for your electronic devices. There are very few mosquitos in Mfumbwi because they don´t like the sea breeze. However, we provide mosquito nets if you would prefer to use them.
Kipara Mzuguno

Lute Lutangano
Lute is a master of carving. Once you enter his workshop you are fascinated by the wonderfully and meticulously carved wooden plates and sculptures of all sizes. He focused almost entirely on this carving technique until 2010. He has also been painting in acrylic on canvass or cotton wool since 2011.
Mwanakhamis Mohd Ali
No need to ask if henna painting is art. It definitely is much more than handicraft. You can see this in the way Mwanakhamis combines symbols and patterns across times and cultures in creating her unique style.
